ESGE guideline:
prophylaxis of post-ERCP-pancreatitis (PEP)
The number of cannulation attempts should be minimized
Number of injections and volume of contrast medium should be kept as low
as possible
Endoscopic papillary ballon dilation: higher incidence of PEP than EST
Prophylactic pancreatic stent placement (short, 5fr) in high-risk patients

conclusions
safe, definite histology, good results
criteria of successful endoscopic resection:
histology: max. HGIN
risk factor: intraductal extension
tumor size: „no limit“
recurrences: endoscopic follow-up necessary
complications: endoscopic / conservative management
